in hands-on media training: The campus TV station, OUTV, features student produced programming five nights a week and is available on local cable (COX channel 124, uVerse 99/Oklahoma City & Tulsa, Campus Channel 76, and ou.edu/tv). Regularly scheduled shows include a live, daily newscast "OU Nightly" (5 days per week during fall and spring semesters, this show is also seen on Cox 3 across Oklahoma), "The Set", a local and regional band show shot live with recordings distributed over cable and web streams and via youtube.com/outheset, "Game Day U", a live pregame show originating from venues around the Big 12 conference, "Sooner Sports Pad", a sports-oriented show produced in conjunction with SoonerVision and airing on Fox Sports Networks, along with other documentary, multi-camera, comedy, talk, and game shows. The campus student radio station, StudioU (formerly the WIRE and, briefly, KXOU), webcasts on TuneIn in a freeform format and is staffed by student hosts, who coordinate a diverse number of radio show styles, including talk, sports, pop, metal, hip-hop, electronica, and rock. The station is home to OU Hockey, which is simulcast on OUTV. When there is no live DJ, the station runs on automation software. As of September 2009, the station's library had 5,982 songs and added about 120 songs per week. The station received an FCC construction permit with plans to broadcast at low power on 95.5 FM by 2018, but the permit expired before any progress was made. Current students manage the station with guidance and oversight from graduate students and a faculty advisor. The campus newspaper, The Oklahoma Daily, is an independently run entity, and is produced by a student staff of editors, reporters, photographers, designers and other personnel. The paper was produced daily during the fall and spring semesters and weekly during the summer semester up until the spring of 2016 when it became a twice weekly publication.
